Suggest Treatment For Persistent Lower Back Pain On The Left Side
I have been hurting in the area of my left kidney since Monday of this week, I feel it mostly in my back and I thought i pulled a muscle. The pain is dull but constant. When I turn or move a certain way, the pain goes from a 6 to a 9 on a pain scale of 10. There is no history of kidney stones in my family. What do you recommend?

Hello,
Your pain is getting aggravated in a particular position or movement.
Hence it is suggestive of muscle strain pain.
For that, you can be prescribed anti-inflammatory drug.
Warm compress can be beneficial.
If no improvement in five days than x-ray or USG can be done for further work up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
